Abstract
In addition to the method of Flynn—Wall the Freeman—Carroll method too was employed to determine the kinetic parameters of polymer degradation, since this latter method is also applicable in cases where the kinetic parameters vary during the decomposition process or where the temperature of the sample does not increase according to a strictly linear programme. To interpret the results an extension of Boyd's theory was attempted with a formal model of polymer decomposition by elimination; it was possible to describe the kinetic constants of the reaction with the values obtained. In depolymerization and polymer decomposition by elimination the reaction mechanism may readily be determined using these kinetic parameters.
